Fear is directly related to my selfishness, to my self-centeredness. When I'm in love, there's no fear. When I love you, there's no fear. When I don't have any fear of you living me or hurting me, there's no fear. When there's true love, there's no fear.

In episode #85 of the 'Big Book Awakening' podcast, Oliver opens up about his struggle with fear and how it shaped his existence.

It's a testament to the power of vulnerability and the healing that comes from surrendering to something greater than oneself.
